A cycle $C$ of a graph $G$ is \emph{isolating} if every component of $G-V(C)$ is a single vertex. We show that isolating cycles in polyhedral graphs can be extended to larger ones: every isolating cycle $C$ of length $6 \leq |E(C)| < \left \lfloor \frac{2}{3}(|V(G)|+4) \right \rfloor$ implies an isolating cycle $C'$ of larger length that contains $V(C)$. By "hopping" iteratively to such larger cycles, we obtain a powerful and very general inductive motor for proving long cycles and computing…

A cycle C in a graph G is called a Tutte cycle if, after deleting C from G, each component has at most three neighbors on C. Tutte cycles play an important role in the study of Hamiltonicity of

A new proof is given that 2-connected planar graphs have Tutte paths which leads easily to a linear-time algorithm to find Tuttepaths, a strengthening that allows applications (such as finding 2-walks) to be done in linear time.

We give here conditions that two graphs be congruent and some theorems on the connectivity of graphs, and we conclude with some applications to dual graphs. These last theorems might also be proved
